Jeffrey Ottilige Obituary

Jeffrey William Ottilige passed away February 22, 2018 surrounded by his family. He was 54 years old. Born May 5, 1963 overseas to Bill and Georgia Ottilige. His father, Bill was in the military, and soon after returned to the states settling in California.
Raised in Stockton, he met the love of his life, Tammy.
With job opportunities in Seattle, Wa, he and Tammy were married July 17, 1982 and then moved north to Seattle soon after starting their own family. Five years later they moved back to California settling in Lodi to raise their 3 daughters. They were his pride and joy.
Jeff was a "prankster" and he loved a good time. Usually his daughter's were on the receiving end of these "pranks".
He was also strict, yet fair. When things got rough, he was the rock in our family. He stood tall and strong and faced any situation head on.
He is preceded in death by his parents.
He is survived by his wife Tammy, of 36 years, 3 daughter's, Kristina, Amanda, and Caitlin, 10 grandchildren.
Parkview is assisting family with arrangements. Burial will be private. A celebration of life is planned Thursday, March 8th, from 1-5 p.m., at the Richmaid Restaurant., 100 S. Cherokee Ln, in Lodi. Bring your stories and your memories.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Alzheimer's Association.
Rest in Peace until we meet again. We love and miss you so very much!
